ego vv chip for mod

[trevor148]

The button on my variable voltage ego got crushed when I dropped it. Now I'm going to have to put it in a mod to replace the button and I thought while I'm at it I might replace the battery. I've read that it might be possible to get another battery and still charge it from the ego fast charger. Has anyone tried it before with a regular ego or vv, and if this worked could I still use the variable voltage feature?

I have seen replacement button assemblys for them . I have an Ego W VV myself. You would have to order directly from china... I will try and find the links for you. I dont see why you couldnt use the electronics to apply to a mod. If all that is wrong is the switch you could even just replace that. As long as the connector end of your mod is the same thread size as the ego charger... you are in business.

The clear plastic button is fine. The problem is the inner button/switch it split and the little pieces inside got lost. I cant replace something that small but there are two places to solder wires for a different button. I'll try it with an 18350.

Anyone have an idea what would happen if I tried this with 2 batteries for high voltage. I'm thinking it either wouldn't work or at the very least wouldn't work in 3 different voltages, but if it did that would such an easy high voltage vv mod.

What mah was the vv ego battery?

To put a 10440 battery in eGo looks easy. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/battery-issues/224213-ego-10440-battery-mod.html
However the 10440 may be only about 350mAh regardless of the rating of some "600" which means it may not be a good idea to use the eGo fast 420ma charger.

Replacing the switch may be a real issue if it's like the tiny regular eGo switch.

The battery on the vv ego is 650 mah.

I have the 900 mah version and was trying to figure out a way to take it apart and use the battery indicator, the red blue led ring and 501 connector for a mod using 18650 3000 mah batt. Mine came with the aluminum button on it and finding a way to take it apart without cutting it is becoming a pain.

Mine was really hard to take apart. I could simply pull off the button end but the metal cap at the bottom was much harder I beat it gently with a hammer to loosen the bottom cap then pushed out the insides from the bottom so I wouldn't break the battery indicator.
